I’m excited to share the third and final bike reveal for Indian Motorcycle’s Scout Forged custom build series has officially gone live. Utilizing the all-new Indian Scout as the base, Indian Motorcycle tapped three renowned builders to fabricate one-of-a-kind custom bikes – each pulling inspiration from legendary stories of iconic Indian Scout riders.
In the final reveal episode, Ronna Noren of Unique Custom Cycles showcases his bold, chopper-styled 2025 Scout.
Drawing inspiration from Stan Dishong, an early adopter of the chopper scene in the 50’s and founder of Stan’s Cycle shop, Ronna’s custom Scout build echoes elements of the early chopper scene with longer forms, narrow tank, taller bars, and dual exhaust.
Receiving this custom Scout is legendary heavy metal Swedish drummer Mikkey Dee.

Indian Motorcycle’s Forged custom build series highlights how customization and personalization was at the forefront when Indian Motorcycle designers and engineers began developing the next evolution of Indian Scout. The Scout’s new steel tube frame delivers an approachable platform for customization, as the tank, fenders and subframe can be easily removed and replaced.
Indian Motorcycle’s Forged custom build program is a six-part video series highlighting three unique interpretations of the all-new 2025 Indian Scout, inspired by the stories and personalities that have made the Scout such an icon for more than a century. Each design and development video will roll out in the coming weeks, while final reveals will take place later this summer.
